I would give anything to go back to listening to music on limewire. Download times be damned. It was a simpler time.

Soulseek is the current best alternative for music downloading. No viruses disguised as music, afaik

Exactly. If you want to go back to pirating songs, just pirate songs wth.

How would that work? For games or software in general, something executable, I get it, but content beside mind blowing proof of concept, I have a hard time codecs can be hijacked so that such a payload gets to do anything via e.g. VLC or mpv.

Back in kazaa/limewire times, search for any music would always return a bunch of .exe files, like Metallica - Fade to Black.exe. A lot of people learned the difference between file extensions the hard way
